We have been ITCHING for a vacation lately! With summer ending and a teething baby on our hands a resort sounds pretty great right now. While this isn’t on our radar this year (holidays and such), we do plan on one next year if we can! Once Liam is one I think I will feel a little better about leaving him for a short trip.
Specifically, Dominican Republic is on our list! Apple Vacations is here to help with all the vacation planning!
